Nintendo and PlayStation are soundly beating it. But don't worry. Microsoft is absorbing Xbox into the Windows ecosystem. Which would be great, if Windows 11 didn't stink so bad. Yep. Win11 stinks like a pile of stinky poo.



Maybe Apple will buy Xbox.

Social justice activists/ cultists have activated and deployed to battle a developer's attractive game character model for obviously being unrealistically proportioned and highly sexualized. Clearly this is an act of misogyny and sets impossible beauty standards no one could ever reach, leading to distress, oppression, and mental health problems for potentially...

I have about 22 hours on it now and although the PC performance is rather atrocious, the game is still pretty good for an RPG. I find my self doing more exploring and menial tasks just because I enjoy being in that universe. There are plot holes and things that needed to be change to create the RPG elements. For example, we're expected to kill a whole lot of baddies, but using an unforgivable...

I'm pretty much addicted to this game right now. It's almost like the story of Star Citizen, but the devs actually have a release worthy project right now if they wanted to. It also has a very big mod community.

PZ has been in development for about a decade and is still in early access. About a year ago, they released multiplayer for it and it became one of Steam's most played games.
